  • A = Applied
  • H = Holding
  • ON = The solenoid is energized.
  • OFF = The solenoid is de-energized.
  • *Shift Solenoid state is a function of vehicle speed and may change if the vehicle speed increases sufficiently in Park, Reverse or Neutral. However, this does not affect the operation of the transmission.
  • **Manual Second-First gear is electronically prevented under normal operating conditions.
  • ***Manual First-Second gear is only available above approximately 48-56 km/h (30-35 mph).
